Two senior officials in the Israel Land Authority and five other people were arrested Wednesday morning in a corruption investigation into the alleged leaking of inside information in return for payoffs.

The detainees are suspected of bribery, fraud, breach of trust and other offenses, the Israel Police said in a statement on the investigation, which is being conducted by the Lahav 433 corruption-busting squad.

Investigators suspect that the two ILA officials accepted bribes in return for illegally providing inside information to advance the business interests of others.
